It is hard to find anyone willing to pick the Jacksonville Jaguars (0-3) over the San Diego Chargers (2-1) on Sunday at Qualcomm Stadium. Jacksonville is without a win in 2014 and has looked like perhaps the worst team in football, losing by a combined score of 119-44 over the first three weeks.

The Chargers have been extremely impressive and are likely to continue their winning ways against an undermanned Jaguars squad.

Over at CBS Sports, everybody is taking the Chargers to take care of business. More interestingly, all but one member of CBS’ eight expert panel is expecting San Diego to cover a massive 13.5-point spread. The spread is the largest of any game this week.
At USA Today, all seven experts are siding with the Chargers, with three of them picking the game as their lock of the week. The experts at SB Nation also see the home team coming out and playing well enough to win, as evidenced below. You can see all of our other predictions at this link.

San Diego is 2-1 but appears one of the Super Bowl contenders in the AFC. The Chargers lost their season-opener against the Arizona Cardinals after blowing an 11-point fourth-quarter lead, but rebounded with an upset win over the Seattle Seahawks before going on the road to defeat the Buffalo Bills.
For Jacksonville fans, the main source of excitement will be Blake Bortles making his first NFL start. Bortles played against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 3, relieving Chad Henne. Bortles was 14-of-24 for 223 yards and a pair of touchdowns along with two interceptions. Jaguars fans might want to turn off the television while the defense is on the field, as the group ranks last against both the run and pass.
